This error was meant to indicate that the giving channel has not been entered properly but right now it also appears if the user_read permission has not been granted in scopes.

In April 2018 two users complained about seeing this notice after a plugin update. The solution is to complete the Setup Wizard again and apply user_read, unless the spelling of the channel is the issue.

Prior to 2.0 the following log entry can be ignored. It is generated by a small test that generates information in the Help tab. The log entry is made due to a lack of permissions to complete the desired API call. The API call method is not currently used in any important functionality but this may change after 2.0 so please keep this in mind.

TwitchPress scope channel_read was not permitted by administration and is required by get_tokens_channel().
